Stutzmann klar for sesongåpning

Nathalie Stutzmann er tilbake i Kristiansand, og klar for sesongåpning med KSO torsdag 25. august. Sjefdirigenten har ønsket å lage en konsert fylt av glede og positivitet, og dette blir også første gang hun dirigerer Grieg med orkesteret.

Waiting with Grieg

- I have deliberately waited with Grieg. This is a composer I'm very fond of, and I love the music from Peer Gynt. I've been in Norway for several years now and have become even better acquainted with the country's nature and history. I think this will give me an advantage when we finally perform Grieg in Kristiansand," says Nathalie Stutzmann.

In addition to Grieg's music from Peer Gynt, the season-opening concert on Thursday consists of Mozart, Bizet and César Franck. Stutzmann has deliberately chosen a program characterized by joy and positivity.

Uplifting

- "I wanted to create an uplifting concert. We've all been through some dark and challenging years, so it felt extra important this time," she says.

The season opening with Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra takes place this coming Thursday, August 25. The concert starts at 19:30, and the Norwegian soprano Ann-Helen Moen concludes the Grieg program with "Solveig's Song".
